I was wondering if anyone knew how the research time for a given tech is worked out. My initial thought was that it was;
total research cost of tech / (total reasearch dollars * research efficiency * % of research alloted to tech) = number of days for tech
Now the above is based on researching a single tech at a time, and I can certainly tell you it is not even close (in my current game, based on my calculation a tech that should 13 days is taking closer to 80).
Am I missing something?

Re: Figuring out Research
Yes well, research is more than just. I give u 100M in 1 day for a 100M tech and I get it. Technology takes time to develop. More money speeds it up but is not the definitive cause for research development. This is done in such a way that people will develop multiple researches at the same time because it won't make that much of a difference anyway .coalde wrote:I was wondering if anyone knew how the research time for a given tech is worked out.
